Great idea
Mine has been posted a few times before , but Langside Halls fit the bill:
Quote from Queen's Park by Ian Marshall & Ronald Smith;
"17. Langside Halls.
Built by the London Architect John Gibson as the National Bank, and formerly the centerpiece of what must have been a charming little square in Glasgow's Queen Street, the building was transported and re-erected here in 1902 in a refreshingly early example of architectural conservation. The rich Palladian facade with two orders of pilasters and attached columns, is graced by a masterful frieze carved by John Thomas, the eminent London mason. Also of particular note are the bearded heads representing the Rivers Clyde, Thames , Severn, Tweed and Humber on the keystones above the ground floor arched window."

And here's the old girl in her original location before she moved out to the leafy suburbs I understand the building was located in the vicinity of what is now Archaos.
